shoulda just thrown the tea in her face carol. (or at least make them drink it if there's really nothing wrong with it) granted i get WHY carol didn't argue the point further. these are the types of people who will immediately throw their title or position around when provoked or feel threatened, and despite very obviously being with an S rank hero there are ways to work around that so that she can only defend herself with no outside help, so it wasn't a bad choice to feign an apology and then investigate on her own with the others...but still i think it's very telling how those two were quick to jump on the defensive that if she prodded a little more their excuses would fall apart.
